Canon colors have altered my workflow -
6

Im fairly new to this forum section so i will just give a little background. I've owned two Sonys, A33 and A77II, a Pentax K30, K5IIs and K3, an Olympus EM1, five Panasonic MFT bodies including a G9, eight Nikon DSLRs including a D800, and a 70D. This December i also picked up an M50 and i have to say, contrary to the assertion of many that all the brands now have similar color science, i still think Canon is the best,

I've always been a raw-only shooter and this is the first time i have decided to stick with Raw+jpeg as a default workflow. When i had my 70D i didn't really pay much attention to the jpeg color so i can't say how this compares but i have been shooting raws as a backup in case i need the DR, otherwise the OOC color is so nice, particularly skin.

Even on my D700 which had very nice color output, it wasn't this pleasing. Perhaps some of this is just my own preference, but the color is pretty much exactly what i have always tried to edit raws for. Anybody else find their Canon colors, contrary to what we hear recently, are better looking than the alternatives?

The following were all processed from the jpegs, with more or less done in ACR.
